New life for a 96 XP!

I came across another 96 XP with a locked up engine for $100!! The hull was in such good shape i decided to try my hand at a restoration and make it my primary ski. This project began last fall and was completed this past Friday (3-21) with a test ride. I didn't do as good a job documenting the project as i wanted to, but i have enough pictures to hit the high points.

The day i picked it up.
Threw my other seat on it and started removing some of the decals.
Started removing old mats.
